Prodigies: The Dark Phantom

Episode 28

Vincent was startled too by his screams, he stood where he stopped and just stared at the screaming man.

The white man stops screaming, he turn around and immediately run away, heading to the entrance gate.

The good looking man from a far distance felt pissed while watching the white man running towards the entrance gate.

He took out a small cylindrical thing from his belly pocket and pressed a button on top of it.

(Trigger clicked)

(Loud thud)

The white man suddenly exploded while heading into the entrance gate, and everyone began to scream out and panicked.

Vincent was frightened too after witnessing a suicide bombing attempt, but in his mind he was more frightened for Margaret's safety, so he immediately run to her.

This good looking man acted like the others frightened reaction while running along with them.

The loud explosion echoed out of the park, making the people outside wonder and see what's going on there.

The elders in the event immediately took away the children from the area of explosion, and called the police hotline.

Later, the news about the frightening event instantly spreaded through social media before it was aired by different news stations. It receives countless frightened comments from those who saw and read the news.

The representative of National Anti-Terrorism gave another announcement to the public, that they are working tirelessly to identify the enemies behind it and to eliminate their forces. He also told everyone to still stay vigilant of possible danger, and quickly report to the authorities once they encountered something strange.

Vincent drove Margaret back to her house, they both stepped off the motorcycle and stood in front of the door built beside the gate, wearing a still uncomfortable look on their face.

“Take a rest and try not to think of it.” his eyes is staring at her, “I know it's really scary, but it will soon fade.” he smiled trying to change her mood.

Sighs, “I'm not just feeling scared,” her right hand gently rubs her left arm while she's staring on other direction, “I also feel pity on him. He just saved us from danger.” his eyes rolled at him.

“Well,” his eyes changes direction, “there's nothing we can do about it.” he returned his eyes to her, “we all have our own fate, and we can never understand how it works.”

“By the way, thanks for helping me there at the event and taking me home.” she smiled.

“That's nothing, your welcome.” he smiled too.

“I'm sorry if that wasn't you expected to happen,”she feels a little shy while staring at him. “because I...”

“Um no, it's fine,” he quickly refuses, “I actually enjoyed that kind of work with you. And uh,” he still smiles naturally, “we could still hang out on the next days or, when you're free again.”

“Okay.” she smilingly replied.

“So uh, I'm leaving now.” he glanced at his motorcycle.

“Oh, yeah.” her eyebrows moves up shortly, “Thanks again for taking me here.”

“Alright, let's meet again next time.” he moved his feet back to his motorcycle.

“Just call me.” he said and wears his helmet.

“Drive safely.” she smilingly wave a hand.

(Motorcycle engine growls)

Vincent ride on and wave a hand at her too before leaving.

Somewhere at the mountain forest, a frightened mother was tightly hugging her son on the ground. Her body is almost like a shield just to cover his son from the scary rifle, pointed down at them.

Beside the armed man was Usman, standing and holding a cigarette between his right hand fingers. Several men holding the same rifle are standing near the three lines of bullet proof vehicles, wandering their eyes around for their security.

Crying, “Why are you doing this?...” her head nodded up and showed her tearful eyes at Usman, “You already took away my husband's life, and now you're taking away ours...” she layed her chin again on the head of his frightened son.

Usman smirks, “I and your husband did already talked about the rules once he failed his mission...” he said and breathes in the cigarette to release a smoke from his belly, “He knows that I have one word.”

“You had taken so many lives...” she rolled up her tearful eyes at him but with madness, “Allah won't forgive you.”

Chuckles, “No, Allah cares about me,” his face looks more insulting, “that's why I became a leader.”

Crying, “Mother.” hugging her mother, he suddenly called her attention.

She look at him “It's okay son, everything will be fine,” she wipes his tears, “Allah's with us.” she said to lessen his fear and wraps her arms again around him.

“Alright, kill them.” Usman commanded the armed man beside him.

(Rifle clicks)

The armed man standing at beside of Usman began to point out his rifle to the targets as he sticked the rifles butt on his right arm.

(Gunfires)

They were shotted.

Several days later.

Outside of a Casino.

A young man, age 20 was walking on the road side heading somewhere in that place, when a group of five men suddenly walked closer to him till he is surrounded.

Then a knife was pointedly sticked on his right flank, “Act normal or bleed.” whispered by the stranger.

The young man began to tremble, he wasn't able to scream out to call for a help or just run away to save himself.

He was forcedly taken into a van that is several meters away from them as they continued to walk without looking strange in the eyes of other people wandering in that place.

“Who are you?,” he began to ask wondering of what they want, “where—, Gaahh-argh!” one of the strangers gave him a punch to his belly and his head was covered by a black cloth, while his hands are being tied behind him.
